An adit is a (nearly) horizontal entrance to an underground facility, such as a mine, shelter or military facility, either active or abandoned. Adits alow the underground facility to be entered, ventilated or drained of water. The visible portal of the adit is mapped as a node.
Unlike cave entrances (natural=cave_entrance), adits and associated chambers are completely or partially man-made. Unlike shafts, (man_made=mineshaft), which are mostly vertical, adits are near-horizontal and can generally be entered without special equipment. Those built for military usage should be distinguished from military=bunker.
How to map
Place a node at the entrance point to the adit from the surface and add man_made=adit.
